Babylegs
Podcast Description
When a baby is learning to walk on its wobbly baby legs and falls to its butt, no one tells it to stay down and stop trying. "You are making a fool out of yourself, Baby". As adults, we hear naysaying and discouraging remarks all the time! But I believe all things worth doing are worth doing poorly at first. We all have "babylegs" moments where we learn to run or we fall on our asses. This podcast shares stories of people's greatest hits and "shits" in life, where they stumbled and failed their way forward.

Wendy Alexander is an Interview and Career Coach who believes midlife isn’t the time to sit back and coast – it’s the perfect opportunity to finally claim the career your soul aches for. Through her own company she coaches midlife and menopausal women to break free from the “good, secure job” narrative and grab the career they’ve always dreamed about. She helps her clients present themselves so confidently and compellingly that hiring managers can’t ignore them, negotiate the income they deserve and ultimately create the lifestyle they truly want.
Wendy knows what it’s like to be stuck. After a relationship breakdown left her as a broke single mum buried in debt, she invested in herself, sought out mentors, found supportive communities and transformed her mess into her success. And there have been plenty of hurdles along the way from growing up as a woman of colour in the vilest years of apartheid-era South Africa to enduring a terrifying armed hold-up in her first Australian job and battling the health challenges of diabetes and menopause.
Yet Wendy smashed them all. Now she runs her business on her own terms, guiding professional individuals and especially midlife and menopausal women to the careers they’ve longed for. It’s your time to break free from what everyone else says you “should” do and finally go after what you truly want – your Career 2.0.
The mission is; Our mission at Happy Career Hub is to help 1 billion women survive menopause when they feel like eating the house, selling the kids and punching out the partner and then forge their own Career 2.0 – the fulfilling life they truly desire rather than the life they’ve been conditioned to settle for.
And the title is 'Internal Uprising'
